Abstract: A method of eliminating pencil pipe defects in steel includes the step of flowing molten steel through a passageway that may be formed by: an upper tundish nozzle disposed beneath a tundish; nozzle plates for controlling flow of the molten steel; and an entry nozzle disposed between the nozzle plates and a mold. Nitrogen-containing gas is directed under predetermined gas flow conditions along substantially an entire length of the passageway. The gas may be directed to portions of the passageway formed by the upper tundish nozzle and the nozzle plates and into the passageway. The molten steel may be exposed to the gas directed under the predetermined gas flow conditions to a portion of the passageway formed by the entry nozzle. Instead of or in addition to exposure to the nitrogen-containing gas, the molten steel may be exposed to a reactive surface formed of a CaO-ZrO2 composition, the reactive surface forming a portion of the entry nozzle. The nitrogen-containing gas may also be directed through a porous refractory sleeve of the entry nozzle and into the passageway. The gas flow conditions are effective to eliminate pencil pipe defects in the steel.

Inventor: TURCOT RICHARD
IPC: A61L2/20
Filed: 1999-04-30
Abstract: The sterilization method disclosed includes the steps of - providing a sterilization chamber; - placing the article into the sterilization chamber; - sealing the sterilization chamber; - applying a vacuum of a preselected vacuum pressure to the sterilization chamber; - supplying water vapour to the sterilization chamber under vacuum; - supplying ozone-containing gas to the sterilization chamber; - maintaining the sterilization chamber sealed for a preselected treatment period; and - releasing the vacuum in the sterilization chamber, whereby a vacuum pressure is used which lowers the boiling temperature of water in the sterilization chamber below the temperature in the sterilization chamber. One or more ventilating cycles can be added to the preferred method for removing the remaining ozone and humidity from the sterilization chamber. Single cycle sterilization with ozone is more efficient and provides for a shorter sterilization cycle than with ETO and requires few changes in user habits. Moreover, the ozone-based process in accordance with the invention is compatible for use with current packaging, such as sterile pouches and rigid containers. The sterilization process is simple and substantially avoids human errors caused by false interpretation and handling. The ozone sterilization method of the invention requires substantially no aeration or cooling down of sterilized instruments so that they can be used immediately following the sterilization cycle. This allows hospitals to reduce the cost of maintaining expensive medical device inventories.

Patent CA-2272549-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BRANN JEFFERY E
IPC: C08L23/10
Filed: 1997-11-25
Abstract: Thermoplastic polymer blend compositions that include a thermoplastic matrix resin phase that is substantially free of cross-linking and a dispersed, silane-grafted elastomer phase are prepared by a multi-step process that begins with melt mixing a thermoplastic resin and an elastomer that have similar viscosities at temperatures used for melt mixing. A catalyst that promotes silane cross-linking, branching or both is preferably, but not necessarily, added to the melt mixed phases either while they are in a melt state or after they been recovered in a solid state. The melt mixed phases and the optional catalyst are then subjected to moisture, either before or after the melt mixed phases are converted to a shaped article, to effect branching and cross-linking within domains of the dispersed elastomer phase. The cross-linking and branching build elastomer molecular weight and stabilize dispersed domain shapes. The elastomer phase may contain a non-elastomeric polymer. A  second, non-grafted elastomer phase may also be included in the thermoplastic polymer blend compositions.

Title: Magnum plate
Inventor: TICHY MILOS
IPC: A63C9/00
Filed: 2000-03-23
Abstract: A solid but flexible (plastic or metal) "U" shaped platform for ski binding (mounted in the fashion corresponding to the latest existing binding standards), which is easily attachable, detachable and transferable from one ski to another. The platform, is anchored to the ski through one gliding plate located between the middle of the platform and the front end and a pivoting connection located between the middle of the platform and the rear.  The pivoting connection is achieved by the pin, (functioning as an axle), which is securing it in place. The pin has a direction square to the longitudinal direction of the ski and parallel with the ski surface, (See Picture 3 on Page 12). Through this connection the platform is attached solid and "mechanically correct" to the ski. Through this attachment the platform compensates for the negative forces and momentum from the ski binding (with the ski boot connected to it) and allows the ski to maintain almost unrestricted flex with a smooth arc and gradual pressure distribution between the ski and the snow surface. Flex of this kind is very important now with the introduction of the "shaped skis" (introduced 1999) which are very sensitive to it. The platform itself could consists of one or two pieces which are mechanically joined together to adjust to various binding's shapes and dimensions as well as to various ski boot length. The platform is made of a material with the strength similar or higher than the ski's middle part, where the ski binding is regularly mounted to resist the stress from the loads expected in skiing and ski racing. It has the ability to be pressed, drilled or predrilled for binding screws, to hold safely the binding installed on it (by means of regular binding screws).
